The public House legislative schedule — the same for every member, not anyone's personal whereabouts. No flight data, home locations, or real-time tracking.

Every figure here is real and sourced: identity, party, seat, term history, committees and contact (congress-legislators); vote attendance, missed votes & how they voted (U.S. House Clerk, last 100 roll calls through 11-Jun-2026); campaign money (FEC); biography (Wikidata + Wikipedia); the 2026 session calendar (official schedule). Nothing on this page is invented. wheresmyguy? carries no flight data, home locations, or real-time tracking. Time-stamped information is delayed at least 4 hours by design — wheresmyguy? is never a real-time tracker.
